Hi Carolinabirders,
I beat the rain to HBSP, (Huntington Beach S.P. Murrells Inlet, Georgetown
County, SC) birding there solo this morning. I covered the causeway both
marsh and mullet pond, carriage path, part of the old entrance road,
Sandpiper Pond Trail to the overlook to Sandpiper Pond, and the Long Marsh
Boardwalk. I also drove through the overflow campground. One of these
days a Gray Kingbird or Scissor-tailed Flycatcher is going to show up
there. A pleasant morning with moderate temps and low wind. There were 46
species identified. The butterflies were also good but that's for another
list.
